Tom Hanks and Christopher Walken need to do a movie together. Hell they could just have a camera crew follow those two around for and hour and a half and you'd probably have a better more entertaining movie than half of what gets made anymore.
Ah, and let's throw Morgan Freeman in there as well.
I don't know what it is, but those three I never get tired of seeing in movies. They might not always be the most fitting for the role, but they still pull it off and are at the very least entertaining.

I think I read somewhere, that Tom Hanks is a distant relative of (Civil War era
President) Abraham Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln.
"In 1818 an attack of milk sickness struck the Little Pigeon Creek community. This is a disease contracted
by drinking milk from cows which have grazed on poisonous white snakeroot."
"On October 5, 1818, Nancy Hanks Lincoln passed away at the age of 34."

Later, Abraham Lincoln's step-mother was Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln.

Anthony Hopkins is my favorite actor. Have you seen him in the movie Worlds Fastest Indian? What a performance. My second favorite actor is Paul Giamatti (Sideways)
"The Burbs" is one of my favorite movies of all time. Tom Hanks is absolutely hilarious in that movie.

In homoerotic sexiness, yes - I agree. In pure actorial talent, while Depp is good, Hanks still wins.
Hanks blew chunks in The Davinci Code. he was horrible.
great current actors
Philip Seymour Hoffman - though i admit, i couldn't sit through Capote.

It was a polarizing movie. Some people got it, some didn't, much like Napoleon Dynamite. It had a lot of "loser" comedy, and Michael Caine's deadpan responses were a riot.
Oh, and you went to an R rated movie, what did you expect? People to say "Gosh golly gee!" and have them watching cartoons or something?
Yep, Tom Hanks is great. There are a few others I'd place up with him in terms of talent and/or how much I personally enjoy their movies: Morgan Freeman, Christopher Walken, Kevin Spacey, Gary Sinise, and Gary Oldman come to mind, among others.
And while Keanu Reeves isn't the greatest actor ever, I've heard he's an incredibly nice guy in real life, which always goes a long way in having me respect someone's abilities.
